I've been so busy the last few days.

Wednesday I went shopping for towels for the new house. There is something about wrapping your naked body in a clean soft, big towel when you get out of the tub, and I had read an ad earlier in the week that a place had Martex towels on sale. I got up early and got Wild Child ready for our small adventure and headed to the store. The place was a mess, and towels were scattered everywhere. I managed however to get eight sets of new towels worth $450 for only $124. I love a great buy. After my great bargain I drove over to the new house, which I might add is about finished, and made sure they were putting in the right flooring in the bathrooms. The workers are getting used to me popping in and out and talk more to me about the house's progress. MsEm was spending the night with us so as soon as I got home I had to clean up the guest room and set out something for the girls to eat for dinner. I was going to pottery class, so Jeff was going to have both kids by himself. He seemed to manage okay and when I got home the house didn't look destroyed.

Today I went on a spending spree. I don't do this often, because I normally do not have the money, but I got up early for the occasion. My first place to spend was the furniture store where my friend M---- works. I paid her for the bed we bought Elizabeth and set up a time to deliver it. Then I went back to the antique mall, in which I successfully talked down the buffet I wanted to $250. I was thrilled! Nothing beats a bargain, especially when it is something you really want. After making my two big purchases, I went to the Babies R Us. I bought Wild Child one of those bed nets to keep little kids from falling out of the bed and I looked at crib bedding and baby clothes. I can't wait to be pregnant again and have another baby this just gave me the Fever even more.

Jeff and I talked about trying again. I am going to make an appointment with a new OB/GYN and I was really encouraging him to talk to our family doctor about getting a sperm analysis done. Jeff was not to keen on the idea but did say he would see an urologist about getting one done. We even talked about moving our trying to conceive to the cycle that comes in July/August. I still would not be showing for the wedding and it would still put a baby being born at the end of the school year. I didn't chart this cycle like I wanted too, laziness was the main factor. I wonder if I could start charting mid cycle?

OH WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS! The house in North Carolina closed. Yippeee!!!! I should be getting the proceeds of the sale next week and then we can close on our house. I was so excited to finally be rid of that piece of property. I already called to get the pay off on the cars, and come next Friday we will be totally debt free, for about six weeks, and then we will have that huge mortgage.
